“If you grow in the love that the Holy Spirit pours in your hearts “He will teach you all the truth”, or as is written in some manuscripts, “He will guide you into all truth”. As it was said, “Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your Truth” (Ps 86:11). The result is that you will learn those things that the LORD refrained to speak of at that time. You will know them not through teachers outside, but “you will be taught by God” (John 6: 45).” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #FeastofPentecost #HolySpirit #SpiritofTruth #TheComforter #Paraclete #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“This living water is great, for it is the gift of the Holy Spirit…may it flow within me, may this that gives eternal life flow in and over me. May the Source flow on us and not far away from us; for wisdom says: “Drink water from your own cisterns, and running water from your own well. Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, streams of water in the streets?” (read Prov. 5:16-17). How can I protect my pots from suffering the cracks caused by sin, and avoid the leaking of the waters of eternal life? Teach us, O Lord, teach us as You have taught Your apostles saying: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and were thieves break in and steal” (Matt, 6: 19-20)” St Ambrose #SamaritanWoman #LivingWater #EternalLife #HolySpirit #HolyFifty #ChristisRisen #TrulyHeisRisen #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

“He was led forth like a lamb; He was slaughtered like a sheep. He ransomed us from our servitude to the world, as He has ransomed Israel from the land of Egypt; He freed us from our slavery to the devil, as He had freed Israel from the hand of Pharaoh…. He is the One who covered death with shame and cast the devil into mourning, as Moses cast Pharaoh into mourning. He is the One Who smote sin and robbed iniquity of offspring, as Moses robbed the Egyptians of their offspring. He is the One Who brought us out of slavery into freedom, out of darkness into light, out of death into life, out of tyranny into an eternal kingdom, Who made us a new priesthood, a people chosen to be His own for ever. He is the Passover that is our salvation.” – Melito, Bishop of Sardis #goodfriday #lent #pascha #holyfriday #fast #faith #orthodox #coptic #salvation #holyspirit
